changes. then the f.b.i. did it. moral said i didn't mean f.b.i. i meant c.i.a. panetta said he believed it was a preplanned terrorist attack. this does look like a great deal of confusion there. >> there is always confusion with a tragedy of that sort. but the bigger tragedy is all the months trying to figure out origin of talking point. not enough time in doing the service that we owed to our fallen colleagues. >> bret: susan rice, the-up ambassador. talking about the talking point she brought to sunday shows. what we know about it and we don't. a lot we don't know about it.

it continues. bring in the panel. steve hayes for "weekly standard." charles lane. and charles krauthammer. on the daily show. with john stewart, this interview. steve? >> that that was devastating talking point. we know five different explanation how talking points came to be an how al-qaeda came to be taken out of them. we still sit here today don't have a single explanation from the administration that reconciles all of their different stories. i think that if for no other reason reporters were interested in benghazi they would be interested in that. if you have that many contradictory stories. suggests that somebody is not telling the truth. hasn't been from the beginning. that is one unanswered question. there are 70 e-mails that exist. requested by republican in

senate. the other is the suspect in the benghazi attack held in tunisia. thigh shared information and intelligence on what we had. the united states government try repeatedly to get access and interviewed him for three hours. brennan testified under oath that the united states didn't have anything on him. brennan's chents weren't true. republicans understand they weren't true. they couldn't be true because we passed information to the allied governments in order to help us try to prosecute. so brennan has to reconcile the comments. he has been asked in a letter by rubio to clarify them. he hasn't yet. they will push him to do so.

>> bret: is this standoff over hagel increase the chances that more information comes out? or does this get as the president says, blown away by charges that this is politically motivated? and republicans are just looking for things to grab on to? >> i don't think the hague hague standoff makes any difference. >> bret: a lot of it is based on the benghazi -- >> i understand. but i'm saying the standoff over hagel is more related to request for information about hagel. and speeches that he may have made in the past. it seems it's pro forma. republicans let him go after a certain period. the brennan appointment may be more closely associated. listen to cross examine of rice's summary of, this i'm not sure what we get out of this. i guess they do have a theory that explains all the changing stories and she said it on the air. they were confused.

confusion at the time. confusion three days after it happened. >> confusion came after the fact. it came after the fact. the fact they can't reconcile that tells they weren't telling the truth. >> the most transparent administration when you have lindsey graham on this set last night saying that they haven't gotten the transcripts from the f.b.i. interviews on september 13 with survivors. they don't the list of survivors. we have don't know where the survivors are. >> right. >> do you? >> no. >> i'm not going to stand here to say i put my hand in the fire and say this is the most transparent administration in history. obviously, they are not going to five the information to lindsey graham when it's in the middle of the political storm, as it is. i don't think the republican administration were more forthcoming with people with partisan agendas either. >> serves the administration to make it look like it's just

issue shoes that are unclear. massive story that are unclear. there are three elements here. we have a scandal of lack of protection. secretary of state. hillary clinton says she did not see the memo. >> stop you there. this is from the hearing with panetta and dempsey. they are asked about the memo sent up the chain to hillary clinton where she says she didn't see it. dempsey, chairman of the joint chief and secretary of defense asked about it specifically. >> you said previously you were aware of that. >> i was aware of the communication back to state department. >> when secretary clinton testified a few weeks ago she had a clear eyed assessment of the threat we faced in libya, is that really a credible

statement? if she didn't know about the ambassador's cable on august 15 saying we can't defend this place? >> i don't know if she didn't know about the cable. >> she said she didn't. >> are you stunned that she didn't? >> i'm call myself surprised. >> we are surprised. >> this is from the ambassador who is later killed that said this is indefensible. we are attacked we'll die. the secretary of state for whom this ambassador is working didn't see it, so that is issue number one on the prehistory. secondly on the day of the attack, the president had a briefing, half an hour where it comes up. afterwards for seven hour he is doesn't call anybody. he doesn't speak with the leader of libya or the secretary of defense.

or the joint -- he doesn't speak to anybody while ambassador and others are killed in libya. disengaged, where was he? what was he doing? why didn't he pursue this? this is a serious event. lastly, i won't go over it is what happens afterwards. obvious deception of what was the origin of the attack? video, which is made up story. as you showed in the tape earlier, the president was still implying viable story. two weeks after everyone knew it was a terror attack. >> chuck's point,teams say okay. we are where we are. we are trying to fix it. arb says we are going to fix these things. move on. senator graham says that is not what happened with iraq. that graham and mccain worked on interrogation policy and looked very stringently

back at bush interrogation policy. the bush iraq policy. is that a fair -- when graham says that, to look back apples and apples? >> i don't think he meant it as a tit-for-tat but it is fair. if you have huge unresolved questions about something, we deserve to have them answered. we need the administration reconcile the various stories we have. there wouldn't five different stories about the origin and the editing of the talking points. if they said from the beginning and to us what happened. there are 70 e-mails that exist between the administration figures and intelligent officials that apparently shed light on certain aspects of how that drafting took place. how the editing took place. that matters. >> what do you think happened? do you think president obama sat down with axelrod and said we know there was no video? we know our story is false. but let's sit down, you and i together conspire to make a phoneny story? that is what you think

happened? >> what important is not what i think happened but what is important is what actually happened and that the administration tell us what happened. >> did it happen is it possible that happened? >> why are you suggesting that's what i think happened? what happened really matters. there are five stories that we have been presented. >> what is the worst case scenario? >> al-qaeda was taken out by somebody, we don't know whom. so that the administration could sell the story that it was about a videotape when it wasn't ever about a videotape. it was about al-qaeda. they downpyed the attack and strength of al-qaeda. they have done it consistently going back to attacks in first year of the administration. >> that is what matters? >> it doesn't matter what my story is. it matters their story. >> bret: we will have a short lightning round. >> what a pity. [ laughter ] >> bret: next up, the friday lightning round. [ female announcer ] caltrate's done even more to move us.

>> bret: back with the panel. quick friday lightning round. president wassal in chicago talking gun violence in a violent city. steve? >> well, conservatives like to point to chicago as a place that is a bad example of this. it took courage for the president to go there. i don't think his comment comments there on gun and gun control and pushing for legislation will have any impact whatsoever on what happens in congress. but in longer term the president comment on fatherhood reiteration of the ones that he made in the "state of the union," if he presses that agenda he could have conservative bye-in. important message. >> bret: big thing on twitter today. chuck, facebook not paying any income taxes. in fact they get money back. $429 million. they made $1.1 billion in

profit last year. thoughts? >> this story came up a year ago when they filed their texataxes. it's long-standing loophole. i don't understand the association of facebook with obama or the democrats on this issue, because the people who have been trying to close the loophole, prominent one is carl levin who is a democrat. campaigning around this. the last time i saw mark zuckerberg he was hosting a fund raise e for chris christie in california. i don't see this as partisan issue. >> bret: right. but it happens the same week as the "state of the union" where president obama is saying we should cut loopholes for well connect and he was out at facebook. >> like chris christie. >> bret: sure. winners and losers? >> winner, jack lew. one of the great hearing. he had issues in cayman island and citigroup, revolving

door and handaled it. he proves get -- 90% of that demean nowhere. calm and respectful. he will get the nomination. loser, 4-year-old of america. they're jumping around laughing, screaming, having a great time. obama wants them to go to school. every one right away. why? prepare them for high-tech economy of the future. can't wait until the age of five. no sir. we can't let chinese 4-year-olds work on the solar panels and cars that run on algae. while our 4-year-olds are lolllying around and doing nothing. we are number one. stay that way. 4-year-olds of america better shape up. have a good day, kids. >> bret: winners and losers, quickly. >> weird choice for winner. marco rubio, for surviving that whole kerfuffle about the water bottle. loser jesse jackson junior in

deep trouble with the law. allegedly stole tens of thousands of dollars. looks like he might do jail time. >> my winner is the senate democrats, actually, because for after going really years without doing anything serious on debt and deficits they offed a proposal this week. to set aside sequester. now a terrible proposal on merits but nice to have them back in game engaging in exchange of ideas to make the policy proposal. the loser in my view was the mainstream media this week. national media. you had obsession with the the cruise ship. hours -- >> bret: we are on there. >> i didn't include fox. >> very fair. >> hours of obsessing about marco rubio's water. same time the media in tone and substance basically siding with administration that decided they are going to withhold information from reporters. new moment in recent journalistic history. not a good turn. >> okay.
